7 round mag limits in NY

This is a discussion on 7 round mag limits in NY within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I'll sell my G36 and PT709 to some New Yorkers so I can buy myself some more 19 round mags......

It is not ex post facto as they are not saying they will arrest you for having purchased the mags in the past. They will arrest you if you don't get rid of them by some future date. It is a stupid law, but not ex post facto.

Agree, not ex post facto, but it smacks a tad of an illegal taking if NY isn't willing to buy them.

If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

I hope the link works. Looks like NY will be a much safer place, now that Cuomo made it illegal to possess anything over 7 rounds.

I'm sorry to anyone who lives up there.

My understanding is ... it also bans all guns which can hold a magazine over 7 rounds, so "if true" that would ban most handguns, against the very rulings, etc. of the Supreme Court in Heller and McDonald.
I would expect a court challenge if they try to do that.

And, what about those 'traveling ' thru the state with guns that hold more than 7 rounds ?

Does this mean the gang-bangers are going to go turn in all of their Glocks. ??? They just made a lot of New Yorkers, criminals over night.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers --- Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."

the only guns I know that have 7 or less rounds are sub-compacts and revolvers. People say "don't blame everyone in NY.. it's the politicians." I say it's the entire populace who voted these idiots into office.

When you have a highly lopsided vote as this one was, it represent the view of the people, misguided though they might be.

It will be interesting to see her show this next couple of weeks, as the SHTF on the anti-2A movement and the sell-out of elected hacks across the country. She's got an interesting handful of recent shows as well, here.

The people of New York elected these scum bags. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Truth hurts. These same people have relocated south by the masses and are helping to ruin states than were once very conservative. North Carolina, Florida, and Virginia come to mind.

You all get exactly what you deserve.

Don't forget that over 40% of the state is controlled by a single city... one that routinely serves as a massive blue dot in an otherwise moderate-to-red state. There are many in central NY who didn't vote for these clowns who will pay the price for the actions of NYC...

If it's run anything like the gun buybacks, you'd probably get a dollar a mag...

What about the guns that can't be used? Maybe you shelled out a bunch for an XD9m and suddenly that nice magazine is worthless, as too the gun? I probably don't know what I am talking about, but it sure seems sufficiently unfair that
it could reasonably be construed as an unlawful taking.
